We grew, together
holdin’ hands through pictures
mind the gap in time
I promised it would all be fine
just not all the time.
I know I can be an asshole
makes you want to leave to the south pole
couldn’t get you to stay
a little lost a lone stray
diggin’ a hole and it’s not finished
can’t put the shovel down or start another hole
and that’s a different story
flippin’ the pages it’s just too lonely.
Was always workin’ on me
but you were here with me
never stopped to smell the roses
hell couldn’t get you outside like a poem
missin’ the point it was right under our noses
watering the garden
but never saw it through
and now it’s through
through all in all you’ll still be the one
chasing but it was a hit-and-run
chasing running water
graduated from running college it’s my alma mater
but I’m still runnin’ never tired
writing this standin’ up always inspired
our song on the stereo
moving pipes Super Mario.
This is not a game
and I always carry the blame
punishing myself staring at the sun
watching the clock run
and I’ve never been that fast
day is gone now it’s overcast
and you’re still gone
telling me to walk-on
you’re so good at it now demonstrate
would be so easy a few blindates-
rather watch the clock
let it dock and I’ll walk
pass the cross walk
counting the days till we make the bedrock
again- but I’ll walk
sleepwalk
dreamin’ I unlock that mental block
shake the shell shock
no more double talk
never writers block
it won’t take sherlock
and after the aftershock
will be out-of-wedlock.
